Program Results

Having access to ongoing care from a home clinic who knows you and your health needs results in better care and better health outcomes - which contributes to a more cost-effective and sustainable health system over the long-term. Manitoba continues to make strategic investments to ensure more people in Manitoba have ongoing access to quality primary care that meets their needs.

Family Doctor Finder helps people find a base for their health care - and staff in the health regions work with those who register to connect them with a home clinic in a location that works for them. Family Doctor Finder strives to match registrants within 30 days of registration, and has been consistently matching over 82 per cent of Manitobans within that timeframe since 2016.
